Sense 1.17.0 is released: a QDA Plugin extends Tagged Text handling.

Microsoft  Windows XP® and Windows® 7. Read more on Editor Plugins.

Sense is a tree structured document editor with closely synchronized Browser and Edit Workspaces for block-oriented layout management and detail text editing respectively.

The Browser Workspace provides tab selectable Content, Outline and ScratchPad Views.

Content and Outline provide Full and Section only views of the Working Document hierarchy while the Edit Workspace provides full access to document content in both cases. The ScratchPad is for general purpose notes and carry overs.

Each view is separately maintained with Content and Outline allowing different locations within the main Working Document to be referenced and edited.

Material may be rapidly navigated, shifted between levels and re-arranged into expandable / collapsible Headed Sections (chapters) and Multilevel Lists.

Lines and blocks of Text may be tagged, categorized and navigated within an extended Annotation capability.

Section and Paragraph numbering is dynamically updated to document-wide styles that are easily changed from selectable and part customizable numbering style options.

A hierarchical style and layout management scheme is centred on the concept of separately manageable document parts, such as Headed Sections (chapters) and paragraphs, allowing the rapid writing of well structured documents.

Any number of document parts including other sections (as sub-sections) may be grouped to form a highly navigable tree hierarchy of related subject matter.

With extensive information cross-referencing and internet hyperlinking support, Sense provides the ideal platform for both outlining and more detailed documentation.

Dispersed content may be speedily selected for single lean and green printing saving time, material costs and the environment - and similarly, content may be selected to tailor Export requirements exactly.

Every document part is uniquely identified at creation underpinning many of the features and benefits of the Sense treeview structured document editor.
